SOKOLOW CITY ATFORNEY 3ames R. Shell President SeTEX Construction Corporation P.O. Box 20678 Beaumont, Texas 77720-0678 Re: Port Arthur Health Clinic Construction Contract Dear Mr. Shell: Greg Wall with LaBiche Architectural and ! have met several Umes to review your time extension and additional payment request on the above referenced job, as set out in your October 28, 2002 letter to me. This letter was accompanied by your revised schedule dated October 18, 2002. The conclusions reached by Mr. Wall and me are: General Condition 98 on Page F ~,; of the Contract Documents states delay or other claims must be submitted within ten (10) days of the event(s) giving rise to such claim. Otherwise, the claim is null and void. You requested and were granted 14 days (2 weeks) of time extension due to work having to stop completely inside the building while Superior Abatement completed the asbestos abatement in the screening rooms area of the building (see attached copies). We knew the impact of this delay would be governed by the time it took Superior to finish so there was no problem with the one-month delay in submission of these claims in April 2002. This is Occurrence No. :L for which you requested 5 weeks of delay in your October 28, 2002 letter. RECOMMENDA'I"~ON: 2 weeks Delay 3. No requests for time extensions due to delays in the electrical panel work were ever received prior to completion of the construction work, even though note of a potential delay was made in your Apdl 30, 2002 letter. This is Occurrence No. 2 for which you requested 9 weeks of delay in your October 28, 2002 letter. Mr. Wall and ! paid particular attention to your wdtten statements regarding .this matter and studied the schedule/progress chart RO. BOX 1089 · PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS 77641-1089 · 409/983-8115 · FAX 409/383-8291 you submitted b3 determine what, if any, time extension might be appropriate in this Occurrence. We noted overall that 4 weeks was taken up by your company in the completion of the punch list for all items for all of b~e work. This time was taken off of the 9 weeks by us. In reviewing all work items and how they interacted, it is our opinion that one-half of the remaining 5 weeks could have been attributable to delaying factors. RECOMMENDATION: 2-'V2 weeks Delay No requests for time extensions ~tue to delays in the air conditioning work were ever received prior to completion of the construction work Occurrence No. 3 as related in your letter of October 28, 2002 was deafly out of your control and was caused by a defect in a piece of equipment that was not part of your work. Mr. Wall and ! see no problem with your request. RECOI~,~,ENDATZON'. :[.1/2 week Del~-y Exhibit "B" The City of Por~ Arthur is agreeable to a total delay time of 6 weeks, or ~.-1/2 months, 2 weeks of which has already been approved for time extension. At your rate of $5,200 per month for extra supervision, the total sum owed to you would be $7,800.00. I trust that this proposed allowance made by Mr. Wall and me will be acceptable to you and that you will revise your Conb3ctor's Certificate and Release to reflect this change. This will allow us to post the closeout of the project on the agenda for at the earliest available City Council meeUng, and for approval by the City Council. Please feel free to call on me if you have any questions in this regard. xc: City Manager City Attorney Greg Wall, LaBiche Architectural Yours truly, Leslie E. McMahen, P.E.
